| | glimepiride sulfonylurea glimepiride activity - Type 2 diabetes is a major health care problem in the U.S. (1) and worldwide (194a), and its prevalence is rapidly increasing (1a,194a). Therefore, identification of individuals destined to develop type 2 diabetes, i.e., 窶徘rediabetics,窶 is very important, since they represent a logical target for intervention. Moreover, as many as 10% of IGT individuals already have diabetic retinopathy with HbA1c of 竏ｼ6% (53) (195a), and a similar percentage has diabetic neuropathy (54). Both impaired insulin secretion and insulin resistance are characteristic antecedents of the diabetic state. However, it is not practical to screen individuals for defects in insulin action or secretion. In prospective epidemiologic studies, 竏ｼ50% of IGT individuals eventually develop type 2 diabetes. Stern et al. (55) demonstrated that inclusion of anthropometric measurements (age, sex, and BMI) and other commonly measured components of the metabolic syndrome is equivalent/superior to IGT in predicting type 2 diabetes in Mexican Americans and Caucasians in the San Antonio Heart Study. Family history of type 2 diabetes also increases likelihood of IGT progression to diabetes (24) (19a窶21a). IGT subjects whose sum of plasma glucose concentrations during OGTT are in the upper 50th percentile or who have fasting plasma glucose 竕･90窶95 mg/dL also are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes (18窶21). Women with GDM (15) (24a,42a窶50a) and PCOS (51a) also represent high-risk groups for development of type 2 diabetes. We have demonstrated that, in both the Botnia (56) and San Antonio Heart (57) studies, a 1-h plasma glucose 竕･155 mg/dL is the single best predictor of future type 2 diabetes in subjects with (and without) IGT. In the Dresden study, addition of HbA1c >5.7% to 1-h plasma glucose 竕･155 mg/dL outperforms all prior predictive models for development of type 2 diabetes (58). A biomarker panel including HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose, insulin, interleukin-2 receptor A, adiponectin, ferritin, and CRP is also highly predictive of future diabetes (59) (196a). Thus, by selecting IGT individuals who have additional risk factors for type 2 diabetes, one can enhance the likelihood of selecting people most likely to benefit from pharmacological intervention, and this has been confirmed in the U.S. DPP (18) and ACT NOW (21) studies.
